Sacred Self, Sacred Other: Honing the Art of Mindful Relationship
Facilitator: Thomas McConkie

My former Zen teacher, Joshu Sasaki Roshi, summarized meditation in a single sentence:

“Meditation is the practice of making relationship with.”

If you think about it, we’re always in relationship. With ourselves, with others, with the world. For all the emphasis on health, well-being, and stress reduction, fewer mindfulness teachers are actively plumbing the potential of relationship as a potent path to awakening.

In this Lower Lights curriculum, we will focus especially on human relationship. How can a mindfulness practice improve the quality of your most important relationships? How can the skill of presence help you navigate conflict and challenging terrain with those you care about the most? How can open awareness unleash new creative possibilities when things start to feel routine, or even stuck?

We’ll explore these questions and more in the upcoming 8-week experience.
